Simpod to Demonstrate IP Modeling System at IP'98 Exhibition Using ARM Processor

Santa Clara, Calif.--March 23, 1998--Simpod, Inc. (Santa Clara) announced that it will demonstrate the capabilities of its new system at the IP'98 conference using a bonded-out implementation of the ARM7TDMI processor and a demo subsystem provided by ARM (Cambridge, UK).

Simpod intends to demonstrate that the Deskpod system can enable ARM customers and licensees to achieve faster time-to-modeling for hardware/software codevelopment of embedded ARM7TDMI processor designs.

Deskpod prices begin at $25,000, with production release scheduled for the second quarter, 1998. Modeling capabilities for the ARM7TDMI core will be available concurrent with Deskpod production shipments.
